Late Paychecks for Adjuncts
Inform your union chapter chair if you do not receive your pay on time.
Adjuncts have a right to be paid on time. But failure to pay adjunct faculty on time at the start of a semester has often been a problem at CUNY colleges. CUNY has instructed college administrations to make “every effort…to ensure that adjunct faculty are paid on time,” and has circulated a list of “best practices” to ensure timely adjunct paychecks. The list includes a measure that had been urged by the PSC: designating a specific staff member to track adjunct appointments “before and during the beginning of a semester.” Read more in this May 2014 Clarion article.
Adjunct Health Insurance Enrollment Deadline: September 23
Adjuncts who are newly eligible or have regained eligibility for health insurance and supplemental PSC-CUNY welfare Fund benefits must submit completed applications/forms to the College Benefits Officer no later than 30 days from the first day of classes. This year, the deadline was September 23. Benefits will take effect the first day of classes. Eligibility requirements are detailed here, along with the list of required applications and documentation.
